UK Tunnels Database

This Working Group is chaired by: Rodney Craig

The British Tunnelling Society is pleased to announce the launch of the first stage of its UK Tunnels Database. The database currently covers some 200 UK tunnels constructed over the last 30 to 50 years across the whole spectrum of the industry from road, rail and metro tunnels to water, sewer and cable tunnels.

For each project the available published information has been collated under:

Project name and tunnel use
Details of the organisations involved, the period of construction, tender value and form of Contract
Project details including diameters, lengths, geology, method of excavation, ground support, tunnel linings and any information on rates of progress
Special features where relevant
A list of references for further research

Over the coming months many more projects will be added.

The Society thanks the Institution of Civil Engineers for its contribution of a grant towards the setting up of the database and Rodney Craig for his diligent work in collecting and collating the data.
